Those are interesting builds, never thought about using a assasin elite as energy management, looks good.
The paragon build is more my style of playing I gotta try that. I wonder how nitghmare weapon or brutal weapon would work instead of vital weapon?
nightmare weapon is a bad idea with spirit's strength, as it will completely negate your big giant physical attacks. Nightmare weapon is better when your basic attack isn't doing that much damage to begin with.
Brutal weapon is possible, but at 6 spec it only had a 17 sec duration. You could juggle atts a little bit, but you're going to end up reapplying it much more often and having to spend a lot more energy on it.
Splinter weapon is a possibility too, as it lasts long enough, but you'll have to reapply it every 3 attacks - kind of a pain.
In a perfect world, you'd have another rit on your team spamming high spec brutal weapon on you, but usually vital weapon is the easiest way.
